Forensic Nursing

Format

Online

An online class is delivered 100% electronically using the internet or other computer-based methods. The teaching is conducted from a remote location through an online course learning management system or other online or electronic tools. Students have access to the teacher and classmates synchronously, asynchronously, or both. Online classes typically are term-based, but some may be offered in a self-paced format.

Historically, a gap has existed between the office of the medical examiner, the police department, and the hospital emergency room or hospitalized patient. Forensic nursing can bridge that gap. Forensic professionals help avoid the mishandling or omission of forensic evidence and perform critical functions in the recognition and correct collection of forensic evidence in all cases of violence, especially complex criminal cases.
